Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
It's long, but has got it all. Very objectivist. It's message is 'don't work for the looters, work for yourself!". Check it out. I don't think it's really subtle or has hidden meanings like Orwell's books do, but it has been a great read so far.

QFT

i just read this for a scholarship and it is amazing.

Atwood has another book set in a dystopian future that isn't quite as 1984-ish but is still downright amazing, called Oryx and Crake. My favorite book I read all of last year...and I read a lot!

I wrote a lot of them down and happened to pick up this one... Oryx and Crake

and god damn it has had me hooked since i opened it.
excellent recommendation my dude

I don't believe in cops, bosses, or politicians. Some call that anarchism. I call it having a fucking heart that beats.
